Again, militants destroy oil facility in Delta ...restate disbelief in Clark’s dialogue team


Yet another oil facility, “32-inch Effurun-Otor delivery line” in Ughelli North council area of Delta state was about midnight Saturday sabotaged by raging militants.

Claiming responsibility for the attack, in a statement signed by their spokesman, Gen. Aldo Agbalaja, the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, also threatened to takedown all oil and gas assets in the Niger Delta as promised.

Revealing that names are being collected from ethnic nationalities across the oil rich region of the country to negotiate on behalf of the people, it restated its lack of confidence in the E.K Clark’s Pan-Niger Delta Forum.


“At about 23:30hour of Saturday, October 29, in furtherance of the OPERATION HAMMURABI CODE, our Akuma Strike Team struck and brought down the 32-inch Effurun-Otor delivery line.

This is not ending soon, we shall fulfill our promise of uprooting your entire assets in our land.

“We are reiterating our unflinching belief that the Pan-Niger Delta Forum, being coordinated by E.K Clark, is a joke and therefore can never get our support.

Like we said before now, the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate is not opposed to a genuine dialogue between the Federal government and real representatives of the various nations of our region. We are collecting names from the nations in the region, those who will sincerely and equitably represent our various peoples,” the statement read.

The Nigeria Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), suspected operators of the facility, could not be reached for comments, as at the time of filing this report.

Groups warn against granting emergency powers to Buhari

An Igbo socio-political group, Igboekulie and a civil society organisation based in Anambra State, International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law, Intersociety, have described the reported plan by President Muhammadu Buhari, to seek legislative approval for a wide range of presidential powers to revive the Nigerian economy as unnecessary, saying that he has enough executive powers so far under the constitution to move the country’s economy forward if he so desired. President Buhari     Intersociety in a statement, yesterday, by its Chairman, Mr Emeka Umeagbalasi, said: “Buhari’s administration has since September 2015 castrated the 1999 Constitution and illegally arrogated sweeping extra constitutional powers to itself in the governance of the country; upon which it now seeks for legislative legitimization through retroactive legislation or legislative cementation by way of executive sponsored bill. “For the purpose of putting the rec...
